Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine,
Or leave a kiss within the cup,
And I'll not ask for wine:
The thirst that from the soul doth rise,
Doth ask a drink divine,
But might I of Love's nectar sip,
I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much hon'ring thee,
As giving it a hope that there,
It could not wither'd be:
But thou thereon did'st only breath,
And sent it back to me,
Since when it grows and smells, I swear,
Not of itself but thee.
